Washington Huskies vs. Oregon State Beavers Early Odds

The 6-4 Huskies remind us of an employee that punches in at 9:00 and leaves exactly at 5:00.

Yeah, these folks take care of business while they’re in the offi ce but don’t try getting a hold of them after hours.

This seems to be the case for Washington. They’ve handled Eastern Washington, Hawaii, Cal, Utah, Colorado and Arizona to claim their six wins (5-0 ATS) but when asked to do a little extra work (Nebraska, Stanford, Oregon, USC), the clock shows 0-4 SU and 1-3 ATS.

With that being said, this meeting with the 2-8 Beavers should take place during business hours but we have a feeling thatthe bowl-eligible Huskies have already cashed their holiday bonus check and may be looking ahead to that party with rival Washington State.

As it is, the Huskies haven’t fared well in this series of late (1-6 SU, 0-7 ATS) and are 0-5 ATS as road favorites versus a foe off back-to-back SU losses.

And speaking of back-to-back SU losses, though he hasn’t produced in that role this season, OSU’s Mike Riley is 12-3 SU and ATS after two straight defeats.

Add a 9-3 SU and 8-4 ATS in LHG’s to the mix and we think you’ll agree that the Beavers are the play in this non-workday meeting.

Vegas Sportsbooks currently have the Huskies listed as 3½-point favorites versus the Beavers, while the game's total is sitting at 58.
